My Ride: 545 modded the F out
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My cooling vent pipe decided to crack perfectly right before the meet. My attendance is now tentative which is really upsetting. I ordered the part and had it rush delivered to me. ( My CPO is expired as of July)
I really hope this is the only thing that comes up and doesn't start a chain reaction of failures regarding the cooling system. I was able to fix the leak temporarily with some misc items I picked up from Home Depot, but I'm scared outta my mind hoping that nothing else comes up. No more error messages come up as of right now, but we'll see how it goes when I take a decent drive. I'm also probably going to need to do a coolant flush since I've topped it off with distilled water for the meantime.
This is what happened
BTW,
Anybody know what the rough estimate it would cost to have my oil changed? Im not due for another 2k miles, but I'm about to drive across the country. Thanks in advance for your help. This unfortunate incident is really getting to me.
